[Verse 1]
I ain't got no claim to nothing
I don't mess with anyone
I walk my way living in a masquerade
And one day I looked behind me
At all the things I've done
That's the 1st mistake I ever made

[Chorus]
I was born to a lonely women in a town called Buffalo
Never knew the man who never stayed
With my 12-string on my back
I discovered every track
That's the 1st mistake I have made

[Verse 2]
With a million hearts I've broken
I never kept the score
Memories of good love hate to stay
But I still remember someone
Who loved me so much more
That's the 1st mistake I ever made

[Bridge]
So, when nothing's worth the living
And in the night I look above
Prayed, about a million times I prayed
I know my story ended
When I lost my only love
That's the 1st mistake I have made

[Chorus]

The three Gibb brothers were very close as children and spent most of their time together. Barry was born in 1946, and his twin brothers Maurice and Robin were born in 1949. Together, they went on to become one of the most popular bands of the 1970s.

The Bee Gees have sold more than 220 million records worldwide, and functioned as a group almost continuously from 1958 to 2003, when Maurice Gibb suddenly died during a coma.
